I am using Retrospect 7.5.508 with 7.5.13.100 hotfixes.

 

I am using SQL server 2005 standard.

 

The SQL server is on the same machine as Retrospect and is being backed up to tape locally. The messages I get are:

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: SQLVDI

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1

Date: 24/04/2008

Time: 12:07:20

User: N/A

Computer:

Description:

SQLVDI: Loc=IdentifySQLServer. Desc=MSSQL$. ErrorCode=(1060)The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

. Process=7484. Thread=5212. Client. Instance=. VD=.

Then I get:

 

Event Type: Information

Event Source: MSSQLSERVER

Event Category: (6)

Event ID: 18264

Date: 24/04/2008

Time: 12:07:36

Description:

This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

So this suggests it backups ok but that Retrospect causes the error by querying something via SQLVDI wrongly, so I don't think Retrospect can be blameless as this does not happen with other backup packages!!!

We are also having this problem. After spending a week trying to get SQL backup working it is really annoying to have to deal with possibly bogus application log errors daily. Does this error mean there is a problem with my SQL backups or is it a benign error?

Windows Server 2003

Multi Server v7.6.123

SQL Server 2005 on Win2k3

 

Though the Retrospect log says "Execution completed successfully" for several database backups, the server hosting SQL Server has many correlated error messages such as:

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: SQLVDI

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1
